On: Carrefour puts ‘shrinkflation’ price warnings on food to shame brands

[Longhanks]

This is a super privileged opinion and wildly out of touch with the less fortunate classes of society.

Also, if you don’t commit to price comparison, how can "shrinkflation" be a problem? If you can buy whatever groceries you want anyway, just buy the ones that make you feel comfortable regarding their price policy...?

That's clear bait. What you're advocating for is a mental tax on the "less fortunate class" as you put it.

Make price transparency legally required and see how the game changes.

This, the concern trolling of corporate apologia is becoming absurd.

“Don’t patronize poor people, of course they are smart enough to remember the ever shifting prices and unit sizes of every product in the marketplace to calculate the real price changes in the goods they are buying.

I roughly remember the sku price, I will notice if the milk goes up 15c

but I am not going to remember that last week it was 490g if they silently reduce it to 480g

this is why they do it... because it works

> Also, if you don’t commit to price comparison

I do price comparison at the point of purchase

but I don't remember the price/ml week to week
